Flash drives connect to the computer through a USB Port. USB ports are marked with this symbol:
Opening/Saving on a flash drive for Mac
Plug the drive in any available USB port (For Mac you will need a USB-C adapter)
Once drive is installed it will appear on desktop
Double-click to open and browse files
Copy and paste or click and drag files and folders onto the drive
Safely eject your drive from your Mac by making sure the trash us empty and click the eject icon next to your drives name in Finder
You'll notice that the USB drive or external hard drive disappears from the list of available drives on your computer. It is now safe to remove the USB drive or external hard drive from the USB port.
Opening/Saving on a flash drive for Windows
Find a USB port and insert drive
Windows will install the drivers for it automatically and a notification will appear in the bottom right corner of the desktop
Open the file explorer and locate your flash drive name in the left panel
Copy and paste or click and drag files and folders onto the drive
Once transfer is complete you can remove flash drive ( Quick removal is a default setting on Windows 10 computers) or you can go to the file explorer, locate your flash drive and double click it. Click the eject and you can safely remove your flash drive.
Notes and Words of Caution
Some USB flash drives may require software to be installed on the computer before use; these models may not work on computers with limited rights.
You should be able to take a USB flash drive back and forth between Macintosh and Windows computers; however, not all files are compatible with both platforms.
Plug-and-go USB flash drives are the
ONLY
flash drives that will work on campus. If you need to install a program for the flash drive,
it will not work.
